BOTTLE-NECK-CONNEGTING BAND.

Application filed August 17, 1914.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Grosnrrn F. PINSUTI, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of NewfYork and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle- Neck-Connecting Bands; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

This invention relates to improvements in bands for permanently connecting sectional bottle necks.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of this character so constructed as to avoid all possibility of separation of the sections Without first breaking the band or one of the sections, and to prevent turning of the sections relatively to each other which would permit the unauthorized refilling of the bottle.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and ar rangement of parts as will be more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a portion of a bottle neck equipped with this improved band; Fig. 2 is a vertical section thereof; Fig. 3 is a similar view taken on a plane at right angles to Fig. 2; Fig. 1 is a transverse section taken on the line 4l4: of Fig. 1; Fig. 5 represents a transverse section taken on line 55 of Fig. 2.

In the embodiment illustrated, a bottle neck 1 is shown having its upper end 2 formed separately and connected by the band 3 which constitutes this invention. The section 2 of this bottle neck is shown reduced at its outer end forming a shoulder 4- on its outer face and also a shoulder 5 on its inner face.

The sections 1 and 2 of the bottle neck are provided on their outer faces preferably at diametrically opposite points, with recesses 6 and 7 which are disposed in longitudinal alinement to receive cooperating locking ribs 8 formed on the band 3, preferably by indenting the side walls of said band as is shown clearly in Figs. 3 and 4.

As shown, the band 3 is provided with an annular rib 9 adapted to fit a corresponding groove 10 on the bottle neck section 1 and the inner end of said band is turned in-.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 7, 1915.

Serial No. 857,165.

wardly around a shoulder 11 formed on alined recesses 6 and 7., of the bottle neck sections, it will be obvious that the band cannot be turned on the sections nor the sections turned relatively to each other as these interlocking members will hold them firmly against said movement and thus all danger of the bottle being filled in this manner is avoided. It is also obvious that the circumferential rib 9 when engaged with the corresponding annular groove 10 in the bottle neck section, will, in connection with the shouldered portion 4: of the section 2 and the reduced outer end of the band, hold the sections against longitudinal separation as above set forth.

I claim as my invention:

1. A band for connecting sectional bottle necks provided with corrugations for engaging a top neck section, a flange arranged beyond said corrugations forming a collar of smaller diameter than the diameter of the body portion of the band, said corrugations being formed between said body portion and flange, and means for connecting said band with a bottle neck.

2. The combination with a bottle neck section having a plurality of longitudinally extending corrugations, of a band for connecting said section with a bottle neck, said band having a reduced end with a plurality of longitudinally extending corrugations formed between it and the body of the band for interlockingly engaging the corrugations of said section, and means for connecting said band with a bottle neck.

3. The combination with a bottle neck section having a plurality of longitudinally extending corrugations, of a band for connecting said section with a bottle neck and having a plurality of longitudinally extending corrugations for interlockingly engagthe corrugations of said section, said band having a straight flange extending longitudinally beyond said corrugations, and of less diameter than the body of the band, the corrugations being formed between said flange and body, and means for connecting said band with a bottle neck.

4. The combination with a bottle neck section having a plurality oflongitudinally smaller diameter than the diameter of the bodyiportion of the band, and means for connecting said band With a bottle neck.

5. The combination with a bottle neck composed of two transversely separablesectlOIlS having recesses in their outer faces disposed for alinement when the sections are for engaging said beads to hold said sections against separation, and means for engaging the alined recesses in said sections.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto setmy hand in presence of two subscribing Witnesses. I
